JOCKNEY Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ladies and Gents Having had an interest in Luft46 aircraft with the amazing concepts what better opportunity to bring them all together in one place with a dedicated Group Build. So what I hear you say is Panzer46 ? This is the AFV equivalent something that until brought to my attention by our very own @Enzo Matrix I was completely unaware of. Also Hikoki46 which is the japanese equivalent of Luft46, yes everydays a school day ! So spread the word and let's try for a slot in 2021 cheers Pat List of participants are : 1. @JOCKNEY 2. @Mig Eater 3. @Corsairfoxfouruncle 4. @Mike 5. @Mottlemaster 6. @Plasto 7. @German Armour ex Panther II 8. @Sturmovik 9. @Arniec 10. @Angus Tura 11. @Hockeyboy76 12. @trickyrich 13. @TonyTiger66 14. @Silenoz 15. @Robert 16. @Adam Poultney 17. @LostCosmonauts 18. @Dermo245 19. @SafetyDad 20. @Walter 21. @Kushan_Farsight 22. @Erwin 23. @nimrod54 24. @stevehnz 25. 26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Eater Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My favourite subject so I'll definitely join in. BTW it's generally referred to as Panzer46 instead of Wehrmacht 46. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hello Pat quick question if i may ? The Luft’46 subjects would they need be an actual kit designed as such. That or could someone take an existing design say a Bf 109 or He 219 and modify it in some way to be a newer version. For example the Bf109 with a 4 or even 5 blade propellor. Or an He-219 with different radar ? Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Hi Dennis You are very welcome, I must admit I hadn't considered that, I was basing it on any designs or prototypes from the period. If you find a drawing of a Bf109 with a multi-bladed prop, or modified He-219 it's a goer as far as I'm concerned. I have quite a few books on the subject so will have a look for you, although this is an excellent place for reference http://www.luft46.com/ cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hello Pat I think i may just try to build this as my Luft ‘46 build. It seems as if it can be done by modifying an existing FW-190 kit. Edited January 29, 2019 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Neu- Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Can I make a helpful suggestion that would potentially increase the number of people who might participate? Expand it to any country in 1946. There's just as much on the allies side that got cut or curtailed that were just as fantastic but cut short by the war's end. These are just a small slice of the ideas: XB-35, De Havilland Vampires, the Centurion Mk.1, Boeing X8F, the Ryan DarkShark, Supermarine Spiteful, Kyushu J7W, the IJN A-150 Battleship project, USS Midway Supercarriers... all cool stuff. Identifying them wouldn't be that tough. I'd suggest the rules be something like, designed to meet some WWII purpose, and had a first flight or entry into service in 1945~46. I think it would be cool to see stuff like Arados 234 being built along side the Vampires. Edited January 29, 2019 by -Neu- 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might build something if I find a good kit. I also could build something Luft46' also. Just depends on what I find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi, A quick question. How board is the scope? Is it just paper panzers and luft46 or does it encompass stuff like Hannebau, Die Glocke, P1000 Ratte and all of that pseudo Sci/Fi stuff? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that given that the projects you mentioned by and large actually went on to get built, which of course the original 2 categories did not, I'm not in favour of including them in this GB. However it's such a good idea I definitely think it's worth starting a separate Group Build for it and I will be delighted to add my name if you fancy hosting it. I hope you aren't too disappointed and that I can persuade you to still join this GB 2 hours ago, Plasto said: Hi, A quick question. How board is the scope?

Hi Plasto Im ashamed to say I had to Google ( other search engines are available) the points you made above, and yes I believe as they were planned during that period unless anyone has any strong objections they can be included. Out of interest does anyone make kits for these things ? cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on Die Glocke. The whole alt history luft / panzer 46 Nazi Sci-Fi genre is well catered for in terms of kits... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Tempted, but I don't have any Luft 46 kits at my disposal (nor money), and I'm terrible with works in progress (I always forget to upload photos and make the thread proper). However, since this is scheduled for 2020, I may get myself the Haunebu 2 or an Ho 229. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
